Event details

How grant applications are assessed can depend enormously on the size of the foundation, as well as on the mission and operational models adopted. There is no magic formula, but there are some key principles which underpin good practice, focusing on two important questions:

How do we ensure the assessment process is fair and balanced?

What information do you need to make a considered judgement?

This is an opportunity to participate in a course that will:

provide an overview of the core principles of good practice in assessing grant applications

draw on the experiences both of the facilitator and participants, with a mixture of presentation and small group-based discussions and exercises.
